Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 2872581, member: 1609"] Why Polley’s freshman numbers were as good a DD’s. DD pretty much was a garbage time player as a freshman. Similar heights both with a decent stroke both not as progressed athletically DD was a pretty slow to develop who even as a Jr was reluctant take it to the hoop or even put it on the floor. Jaylen is one of the most talented guards we’ve ever had. Unfortunately except his freshman year and especially last year his supporting cast was not great. He should however be getting to the line 5-6 more times a game ,when you consider the amount of time he has the ball and his ability to penetrate. Watching replays I don’t think it’s for lack of contact. Arizona beat him like a drum yet he went to the line only 3-4 times in that game . Whether he is not selling the contact like Kemba shamelessly did occasionally to excess or ref’s simply aren’t protecting him because of the bad teams , that’s something that needs to be rectified. He averaged 18 a game last year. Get to the line more and he is in the mid twenties. The benefits far exceed the additional points as piling up personal fouls effects the opposing teams defensive intensity. That simple adjustment could be a difference maker. Minor adjustment huge returns. [/QUOTE]
